ELEPHANTS

Elephants at the mud bath. While it doesn't really look like it, there is a strict social order to the mud bath. The large male in the back has been in and is now getting out. Until he finished, none of the others even went near the bath. Once he finished and mother started in, everyone else made a mad dash for it. In addition to the elephants, this picture is about the searing bright daytime light you have to deal with in Africa. It makes taking photographs a major problem during the day but in the evening it's gorgeous.
